2012 Ferrari FF Hatchback

Benefits of Driving a 2012 Ferrari FF Hatchback

The Ferrari FF officially replaces the 612 Scaglietti in the Italian automaker's lineup; but it actually competes with a much larger playing field of alternatives than its predecessor--including the likes of the Porsche Panamera 4, the Bentley Continental GT and the Aston Martin DBS. It should appeal to a different type of buyer--one who wants the exclusivity of Ferrari ownership but in a somewhat more practical, accessible package.

Model Review

The FF has its engine--a big 6.3L V12, making 651 horsepower and 504 pound-feet of torque--mounted in a 'mid-front' position, meaning at the front of the car, but with its center of mass behind the front wheels; that helps give it especially balanced dynamics near the limits of adhesion. Overall, the FF's weight distribution is an impressive 47/53 percent (front/rear), and its total curb weight is just 4,140 pounds.

Original Warranty

Original Warranty

An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment.

The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including:

Basic Warranty:

Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters.

Drivetrain Warranty:

This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be.

Roadside Assistance:

The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car.

Corrosion Warranty:

This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal.

Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.
